Systematic Small Farming Or The Lessons Of My Farm

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Systematic Small Farming The basis of the present volume is a former one, which appeared some years ago under the title of "The Lessons of My Farm." That work was designed to convey to persons interested especially in the subject of small - or as they were frequently termed, amateur farms - a general, yet a sufficiently practical notion of what the work of such farms was. This was all the more likely to be, if not more interesting, certainly more suggestively useful, from the fact that the volume was mainly the record of work done, and experience gained by the practical conduct of a small farm, on which the Author spent, if not the most useful, assuredly one of the most pleasant periods of a life which has had many pleasant periods to record and to be grateful for. It was, indeed, the pleasure which the Author derived from the care and cultivation of his "little farm" which led him to embody what he had learned on it in a volume which might induce some to take up what is certainly a healthy hobby, and might also be of some service to them in the realisation of all its pleasures.
